People always try something new to make their face fair and glowing. Sometimes tomato face pack, sometimes rice flour, sometimes curd-turmeric. But in the last few months, another thing has become increasingly viral on social media, Black Mask. From Instagram to YouTube, it is discussed everywhere. Many beauty influencers are claiming that this homemade black face mask makes the skin brighter and brighter in a very short time.

The special thing about this mask is that it is prepared from home and natural ingredients like rice flour, flaxseeds and activated charcoal. People are claiming that it instantly clears the skin, reduces pigmentation and makes the face look brighter. But the question is, is it really that effective? Does it suit every skin type? And what is the correct way to apply it? Let us understand the whole story of this black mask in detail, its benefits, uses, precautions and the real glow it provides.

What is Black Mask and how does it work on the skin?

Black Mask is not an ordinary face pack available in the market, but a home-made skin-brightening recipe. It consists of three main ingredients, rice flour, flaxseeds and often activated charcoal.

Science behind black mask

Rice flour acts like a scrub and removes the dead skin accumulated on the skin surface. Flaxseeds provide a gel-like texture that tightens and hydrates the skin. Charcoal draws out dirt, oil and toxins from the skin. The power of these three together makes the skin clean, bright and glowing.

How to make Black Mask?

1. Prepare flaxseed gel

Add 2 tablespoons of flax seeds in a bowl of water and cook on low flame. After some time, a thick and sticky gel will be ready.

2. Mix rice flour

Put 1 spoon of rice flour in a bowl and add 1–2 spoons of flaxseed gel in it.

3. Add activated charcoal

If you want to enhance the color and effect of the black mask, add half a teaspoon of charcoal powder.

4. Mix well

Make a smooth paste so that it can be easily applied on the face.

5. Apply on face

Apply it on clean face in upward strokes and leave it for 15–20 minutes.

6. Remove by rubbing gently

This removes dead skin and accumulated dirt.
